Paul C. Allen, Petitioner and Appellant v. Clint Friel

Summary

The Utah Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of Paul Allen's post-conviction petition because his appeal failed to identify errors in the district court's ruling, inadequately briefed the issues, and omitted essential portions of the record. The court also held that the record supported dismissal of the ineffective-assistance-of-appellate-counsel claim as vague and speculative, application of procedural bars, denial of the jurors' request for witness-transcript materials, and striking of a juror affidavit. There were no separate opinions.
